Popular Post .AJ. Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Kit arrived from Amazon in the US in 4 days Also picked up a set of J Concepts Renegade tyres on Aggressor rims from MS And a nice AGFRC servo from SMD Motor and esc wise I’ve got a Castle Copperhead in my parts box, I’ll probably pair it to a Castle 1412 2100kv and run 3s No idea on the body yet, this is a longer term project so progress might slow after the initial kit/roller build 👍 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 What a kit, I can see why it’s so expensive now, I didn’t realise all the cross bracing were aluminium Ive also built the shocks and diffs, they are all standard 1/8 buggy sized stuff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Yeah I’ve already watched that, typical first off the production line kit. I’ve not encountered any issues so far 👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted April 26 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Been cracking on with the build, not one issue at all, pics to follow but for now I’ve been messing with the rims, I hated the centre caps being the same colour and having the screws stand out like a sore thumb So Rit Dyed them 👍 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 (edited) Quick lowdown No issues with the kit what so ever, no missing screws, no faulty parts and the sway bars definitely don’t hit the chassis, I asked a Losi factory guy on FB if the kit had been updated and all he said was the QC was increased at the factory but no parts have been changed since the original release… Make of that what you will.. Only complaint is the manual can be a bit vague in places and the pictures can be hard to work out Edited April 26 by .AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 I’m not a fan of the battery box or radio tray, so first job is find something different, the battery box just looks like a after thought to me and not very in keeping with a high end kit, the radio tray I’ll probably trim off all the excess parts and stick a thin sheet of carbon over the top… I need to source a servo saver, I’ll probably go for the Vitavon one with a alloy steering link set up, Ive put a small order in at Amain’s for a set of JC beadlock rings and the JC 17mm hex conversion That’s about it for now, I need to top up the hobby fund asap 🤣🤣🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this TLR LMT not available in the UK or did I just make that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 Don’t think it was, just like the Roller version of the RTR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Found a much nicer battery tray I will probably need to drill 2 new holes in the side plates, the TLR version has the stock mount holes drilled lower, but I’ll make it work 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 17mm hex conversion arrived along with some faux beadlock rings, a deep reach 17mm nut wrench, RX and some shock pliers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
